1) A ceasefire leading to what? The status quo before June 12 that permitted Israel to assassinate ppl? on Iranian soil?

2) What negotiations between the US and Iran will be possible given (a) Trump’s terms are surrender terms (b) it was Trump who ripped up the JCPOA and (c) Trump just bombed Iran?

NO. We should not be celebrating Trump’s racist and anti-immigrant policies.
Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

Seven years ago, Bijan Ghaisar was fatally shot by U.S. Park Police. He was 25, and unarmed. His family - Kelly, James, Negeen, and Kouros - continue to fight for justice and accountability, and I stand with them. We won't forget Bijan.
